Is Whiskey Healthy? Can it Help You Lose Weight? May 06, 2022

Show notes

During my journey I have come across countless "myths" about alcohol and its impact on diets and health. In this episode we bring on Dr. J. Mack Slaughter. I have know Dr. Slaughter since he was about 15 years old. He was in a boy band that Lindsey did photography for. The band didn't last long, but J. Mack parlayed that into a successful career in Hollywood. Rather than being eaten up by Hollywood, J. Mack saved his money and used it to put himself through medical school. Now he practices medicine as an ER doctor and is also a content creator educating people about medicine with about half a million followers. In this episode J. Mack and I discuss whether or not whiskey is healthy, and can it be integrated into a diet to help you to lose weight?
